Answer:

She has fulfilled about 91.6666 repeating

Explanation:

If half of her sales were fulfilled in January, then that is 50% or 0.5. Then if you take 5/12 then it = 0.41666666, add the two decimals together and you have 0.916666 repeating. If you want to turn that into a fraction it would be 9/10 by rounding down due to the decimal.
